Can U C the Pride in the Panther (Male Version)

It's said that every revolutionary act is a act of love

And this is an act of love

All power to the people

I said the P is for power, the A for action

The N-T because now is the time to get it done

See the H is for heart, and the E for effect

The R hold it down at the end for respect

Who am I? A panther

Who am I? A panther

What I got I got SOUL, what I got I got LOVE

What I got I got PRIDE, what I wanna be FREE

Raise your hands in the air if you feel like me

Who am I? A panther

Who am I? A panther

What I got I got SOUL, what I got I got LOVE

What I got I got PRIDE, what I wanna be FREE

Raise your hands in the air if you feel like me

Can you see the pride of the panther

as he glows in splendor and grace?

Topling obstacles placed

in the way of the progression of his race

Can you see the pride in the panther

as she nurtures her young, all alone?

The seed must grow, regardless

of the fact that it's planted, in stone

Can't you see the pride of the panthers

as they unify, as one?

The flower blooms, with brilliance

and outshines the rays of the sun

Outshines, like the sun

Shines out, like the sun

Shines bright, like the sun

Brings light, like the sun

[Mos Def w/ group emphasizing]

P is for power, the A for action

The N-T because now is the time to get it done

See the H is for heart, and the E for effect

The R hold it down at the end for respect

Who am I? A panther

Who am I? A panther

What I got I got SOUL, what I got I got LOVE

What I got I got PRIDE, what I wanna be FREE

Raise your hands in the air if you feel like me

Who am I? A panther

Who am I? A panther

What I got I got SOUL, what I got I got LOVE

What I got I got PRIDE, what I wanna be FREE

Raise your hands in the air if you feel like me

This song is dedicated to all those who live and die for the struggle

Panthers, children of the Panthers, or all those, who strive for

free minds, free souls, free bodies.. for freedom

And love.. love.. love is the engine to the revolution
